As a Ron Gordon fitness business mentor, I grew up in a small rural farming community where hard work, faith, and family values shaped everything I do. That upbringing built my passion for fitness, the outdoors, and the relentless pursuit of excellence that still drives me today.
I started my career with the YMCA while in college—quickly earning recognition for turning around underperforming branches, raising over $10 million, and becoming one of the youngest Executive Directors in the nation. But I wanted more than success within an organization—I wanted to build something of my own.
That entrepreneurial drive led me into startups, mergers and acquisitions, and even a role as CEO of a Montessori school, where I led a complete turnaround. Each experience sharpened my skills in leadership, growth strategy, and sustainable business systems. I learned that true success isn’t just about revenue—it’s about building organizations that create meaningful impact and empower others to grow. Those lessons continue to shape how I mentor business owners today.
Ultimately, I returned to my true calling: fitness. I founded Gordon Training Systems to help fitness professionals build profitable, balanced businesses that give them both freedom and impact. Within 18 months, I built my own six-figure business working just 30 hours per week—and now, through the 6 Figure Trainers Mastermind, I teach others to do the same. My goal is to help trainers and entrepreneurs move from surviving to thriving—with systems that give them time, stability, and peace of mind.
Over the years, I’ve competed in the Ironman World Championships three times, recovered from a heart attack, and learned what it truly takes to build a business that works without consuming your life. My mission today is simple: to help fitness professionals achieve success on their own terms—with the systems, mindset, and accountability to make it last.
Take action today. Your future business and lifestyle are built on the decisions you make now.
